Summary
Each of the two-box wrench ends is shaped into two sizes (two ends on each wrench, two sizes on each end, four sizes per wrench). Two wrenches -- eight sizes. Each end of each wrench boasts a reversible ratchet and a five-degree ratchet lock. This means that the tool can be operated in a very tight space.
We strongly recommend using adjustable pliers instead of a pipe wrench for most plumbing finish work. You can "feel" the pressure being exerted more readily with pliers. Over-tightening a connection is still possible, but less likely when using pliers.Someone just invented a pair of self-adjusting locking pliers. There is no adjusting screw at the end of the handle because the tool automatically adapts to whatever size item you want to hold on to.See the full content of this document
